Ms. M was inspired to do a photo session by a close friend who had worked with Her Story Images. Mrs. M entered our recent Boudoir Session Giveaway and was a grand prize winner! As a mother of three young children, Mrs. M felt like she spent all her time doing things for other people. In addition to caring for her own kids, she also opened a daycare during the pandemic and literally spends everyday taking care of other people! She decide it was time to do something special just for herself. She wanted to feel beautiful on her journey towards self-love. Here’s what she said:

“I decided to do a boudoir session because I was referred by a friend who did a photo shoot, and I wanted to do this to get back to my roots of loving me and appreciating me. I am a bigger woman, and a mother of 3, so I have stretch marks and my body is not what it used to be. I used to love my body and now I’m just surfing in it instead of living. I want to live and love my body again.”

“Before I came in for the photo session, I was feeling a little nervous. You can look online all you want, but the feeling before you come in is not the same as when you walk in the door and are pampered. So I was a little nervous, but I was also very excited. I was worried about looking at myself in a different light…because it’s not something you just go out and do everyday, so it was unfamiliar territory.”

“The day of my photo session  I felt very relaxed and pampered, and I appreciated all the attention to detail, so it was really nice.” 

“When I saw my photos I cried. It was a very emotional experience seeing myself like that. I have never looked at myself in this light. I don’t have words to describe how I feel…I loved all of it and I would do it again and again and again!!!”

“I would tell any woman thinking about doing a session that she has to do it. I feel like this is an experience that every woman has to have for herself!” ~ Ms. M
